Frontlines: Fuel of War

How WWIII will be won by remote control

Listen: Frontlines is not a political statement. Yes, it takes place in a not-too-distant future. Yes, the scenario of the Caspian Sea’s oil reserves being plundered by rival coalitions from the West and East is actually fairly believable. And yes, it’s jammed with futuristic tech - including remote controlled airborne drones - that’s close to actually being on the market. But this isn’t some plea to save oil and recycle: it’s difficult to take environmental concerns seriously when you’re razzing around in a jeep, firing nuclear bombs at will.
